Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
1Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?
2υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμένας τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, προφήτευσον, καὶ εἰπὸν τοῖς ποιμέσι, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ὦ ποιμένες Ἰσραὴλ, μὴ βόσκουσι ποιμένες ἑαυτούς; οὐ τὰ πρόβατα βόσκουσιν οἱ ποιμένες;
3You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.
3Ἰδοὺ τὸ γάλα κατέσθετε, καὶ τὰ ἔρια περιβάλλεσθε, καὶ τὸ παχὺ σφάζετε, καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου οὐ βόσκετε.
4You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
4Τὸ ἠσθενηκὸς οὐκ ἐνισχύσατε, καὶ τὸ κακῶς ἔχον οὐκ ἐσωματοποιήσατε, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεδήσατε, καὶ τὸ πλανώμενον οὐκ ἀπεστρέψατε, καὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς οὐκ ἐζητήσατε, καὶ τὸ ἰσχυρὸν κατειργάσασθε μόχθῳ.
5They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
5Καὶ διεσπάρη τὰ πρόβατά μου, διὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ποιμένας, καὶ ἐγενήθη εἰς κατάβρωμα πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ.
6My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”
6Καὶ διεσπάρη τὰ πρόβατά μου ἐν παντὶ ὄρει, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς διεσπάρη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκζητῶν οὐδὲ ὁ ἀποστρέφων.
7“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word:
7Διατοῦτο ποιμένες ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου.
8“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,
8Ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, εἰ μὴν ἀντὶ τοῦ γενέσθαι τὰ πρόβατά μου εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ γενέσθαι τὰ πρόβατά μου εἰς κατάβρωμα πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ πεδίου, παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ποιμένας, καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν οἱ ποιμένες τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐβόσκησαν οἱ ποιμένες ἑαυτοὺς, τὰ δὲ πρόβατά μου οὐκ ἐβόσκησαν·
9therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word!”
9Ἀντὶ τούτου ποιμένες,
10The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.”
10τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμένας, καὶ ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς τοῦ μὴ ποιμαίνειν τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ οὐ βοσκήσουσιν ἔτι οἱ ποιμένες αὐτά· καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι τὰ πρόβατά μου ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται αὐτοῖς ἔτι εἰς κατάβρωμα.
11“‘For the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
11Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι αὐτά.
12As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
12Ὥσπερ ζητεῖ ὁ ποιμὴν τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὅτʼ ἄν ᾖ γνόφος καὶ νεφέλη ἐν μέσῳ προβάτων διακεχωρισμένων, οὕτως ἐκζητήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἀπελάσω αὐτὰ ἀπὸ παντὸς τόπου οὗ διεσπάρησαν ἐκεῖ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ νεφέλης καὶ γνόφου.
13I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
13Καὶ ἐξάξω αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν χωρῶν, καὶ εἰσάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, καὶ βοσκήσω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς φάραγξι, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ κατοικίᾳ τῆς γῆς,
14I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
14ἐν νομῇ ἀγαθῇ βοσκήσω αὐτοὺς, ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ ὑψηλῷ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔσονται αἱ μάνδραι αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ, καὶ κοιμηθήσονται, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀναπαύσονται ἐν τρυφῇ ἀγαθῇ, καὶ ἐν νομῇ πίονι βοσκηθήσονται ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων Ἰσραήλ.
15I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says the Lord GOD.
15Ἐγὼ βοσκήσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναπαύσω αὐτὰ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
16“I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.”’
16Τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ζητήσω, καὶ τὸ πλανώμενον ἀποστρέψω, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον καταδήσω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐνισχύσω, καὶ τὸ ἰσχυρὸν φυλάξω, καὶ βοσκήσω αὐτὰ μετὰ κρίματος.
17“As for you, O my flock, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
17Καὶ ὑμεῖς πρόβατα, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ διακρινῶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου καὶ προβάτου, κριῶν καὶ τράγων.
18Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?
18Καὶ οὐχ ἱκανὸν ὑμῖν, ὅτι τὴν καλὴν νομὴν ἐνέμεσθε, καὶ τὰ κατάλοιπα τῆς νομῆς ὑμῶν κατεπατεῖτε τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν; καὶ τὸ καθεστηκὸς ὕδωρ ἐπίνετε, καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν ἐταράσσετε;
19As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.’
19Καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου τὰ πατήματα τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἐνέμοντο, καὶ τὸ τεταραγμένον ὕδωρ ὑπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἔπινον.
20“Therefore the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
20Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ διακρινῶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου ἰσχυροῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον προβάτου ἀσθενοῦς·
21Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,
21Ἐπὶ ταῖς πλευραῖς καὶ τοῖς ὤμοις ὑμῶν διωθεῖσθε, καὶ τοῖς κέρασιν ὑμῶν ἐκερατίζετε, καὶ πᾶν τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐξεθλίβετε.
22therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.
22Καὶ σώσω τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὦσιν ἔτι εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ κρινῶ ἀναμέσον κριοῦ πρὸς κριόν.
23I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
23Καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ποιμένα ἕνα, καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς, τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῶν ποιμὴν,
24I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken it.
24καὶ ἐγὼ Κύριος ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν· ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα.
25“‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
25Καὶ διαθήσομαι τῷ Δαυὶδ διαθήκην εἰρήνης, καὶ ἀφανιῶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ὑπνώσουσιν ἐν τοῖς δρυμοῖς.
26I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.
26Καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς περικύκλῳ τοῦ ὄρους μου· καὶ δώσω τὸν ὑετὸν ὑμῖν, ὑετὸν εὐλογίας.
27The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.
27Καὶ τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ γῆ δώσει τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐν ἐλπίδι εἰρήνης, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἐν τῷ συντρίψαι με τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξελοῦμαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν καταδουλωσαμένων αὐτοὺς,
28They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.
28καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται ἔτι ἐν προνομῇ τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ τὰ θηρία τῆς γῆς οὐκέτι μὴ φάγωσιν αὐτούς· καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν ἐλπίδι, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν αὐτούς.
29I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.
29Καὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς φυτὸν εἰρήνης, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται ἀπολλύμενοι λιμῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὀνειδισμὸν ἐθνῶν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσιν ἔτι.
30They will know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.
30Καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτοὶ λαός μου. Οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος,
31You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord GOD.”
31πρόβατά μου καὶ πρόβατα ποιμνίου μου ἐστὲ, καὶ ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
